Famous quotes containing the word creatures:
“If in this wide world, teeming with abundant supplies for human want, to thousands of wretched creatures no choice is open, save between starvation and sin, may we not justly say that there is something utterly wrong in the system that permits such things to be?”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
“‘Whoever it is that leaves him out so late,
When other creatures have gone to stall and bine,
Ought to be told to come and take him in.’”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea!—incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
